C$ 934+ Cheap flights to Uganda

There is only one airport in the East African country of Uganda that accepts international flights: Entebbe International Airport (EBB). Fortunately, there are a number of airports throughout Canada that provide options for flights to the country. For instance, there are cheap flights to Uganda that can be secured from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ). These options can typically take anywhere from roughly about 19h 50min to about 51h 10min. Additional options for flights to Uganda will leave from Canada’s capital city of Ottawa. Flights leaving from Ottawa International Airport (YOW) that are bound for Uganda can run from about 25h 5min to roughly 43h 20min.

Unfortunately, nonstop flights from Canada to Uganda are not currently available, but there are some options that will include just one layover. As an example, Canadian travelers who are departing from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) may only stop at Doha, Addis Ababa or Dubai before completing the journey to Entebbe International Airport. Similarly, one-layover options are offered out of Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL); however, these flights will either land in Brussels or Doha for the layover. Some two-layover options depart from Ottawa International Airport (YOW) and will typically stop in another Canadian city and then a European city, like Brussels, before operating the final leg of the journey. Two-layover options from Calgary International Airport (YYC) and Vancouver International Airport (YVR) may have similar layover combinations, or may land in Istanbul and then Kigali before completing the trip.

With its rugged terrain, minimalist road infrastructure and untapped territory, the best way to travel around Uganda is either via small domestic plane or via 4x4. If you are looking to get from Entebbe, which is Uganda’s capital city, to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, then you will want to take a domestic plane, since the journey is almost 500 km. A plane ride will take about 1h 25min. Alternatively, from Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to the Kazinga Channel, which is to the north, you will need to take a 4x4. This journey is about 145 km, which takes roughly 4h 15min. From the Kazinga Channel to Entebbe, domestic planes are available and they take about 2h 40min.

The country of Uganda has some of the most stunning and surreal landscape on the planet, so if you are lucky enough to secure one of the Uganda flight deals, then you’ll want to plan an itinerary that will grant you access to as much of the large country as you can see. One unmissable experience is in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, where you can gain access to the incredible families of gorillas that have been habituated in these mountains. Before your trek into the deep jungles, you can speak with local tribes who used to share the land with these amazing animals. You will also want to secure a ride on a boat that explores the Kazinga Channel. A breath-taking number of species come to these waters to drink and bathe—from a boat you can watch it all up close. Catch glimpses of elephants, hippos, water buffalo, bee-eaters and king fishers.

All Canadian citizens who have a plane ticket to Entebbe International Airport will need to secure a visa before they can enter the country. While visas can be granted upon landing, it is best to get one before the trip. Typically, these will cost roughly about C$ 63.
